Better still IMHO of course, would be GNU automake.

Here is all I have to do to get automake to create a fully functional
makefile with all the dependencies.

bin_PROGRAMS    = hello
proz_SOURCES    = curses.c misc.c url.c
INCLUDES        = -I. -I.. -I AT includedir@
CFLAGS          = @CFLAGS@ @GLIB_CFLAGS@ @GTK_CFLAGS@ -D_REENTRANT -Wall
LDADD           = -L AT libdir@
LIBS            = @LIBS@ @GTK_LIBS@ 
DEFS            = @DEFS@


So if you plan to use Autoconf, Automake is your best and easiest bet
IMHO.
